to-day, except for short time late in the
afternoon, exhibited much less animation
than yesterday, and transactions were
marked by considerable icregularity, es-
pecially carly in the day. London was do
ing almost nothing here, but the market ON
the other side was higher, as a rule Until
just previous to the close the general list
was quiet, and fluctuations were within
narrow limits. Kingston and Pembroke.
Fort Worth and Denver, and Manhattan
were noted strong stocks, though Fort
Worthis strong upon the manipula alton of
insiders and squeezing short interests.
There was revival OF the story of divi-
dend upon Pacific Mail. The opening was
steady, changes from last evenings final
figures being for insignificant fractions
only. The market was moderately sctiye
at generally steady prices, but Pacific Mail
was strong snd New England weak in early
dealings. though the first named broke
badly. In the last hour the break In Read
ing caused a slight decline all around,
many stocks closing at lowest prices. the
shares. Atlantic and Pacific incomes were

furnishing $S59,0OO 10 full days total of

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Marguerita GranfilO Tried for
the Murder of Her Lover.


On the 4th of January last, Marguerite
Granillo murdered her lover, Andreas
Martinez, at the Shoe Fly saloon, on Los
Angeles street, and yesterday she was
tried ibefore Judge O'Melveny. 1t viii
be remembered that Marguerite at first
charged Teresa Pico with the murder.
She said that Teresa went into the back
room in which she was living, and be.
came angry because MARTINEZ would net
give her a glass of wine. Marguerite
went out to the bar to get drink of
water, and when she returned Andreas
staggered up to her and told her
that Teresa had stabbed him. He then
went into the back yard, and there ex-
pred. Marguerite added that she ran
after Teresa, who was going toward
closet, but the latter managed to elude
her, and threw the knife away. This
story might have been believed, but
Teresa was very drunk and Marguerita's
clothes were spotted with blood.
Teresa's lover, William Best, next
on the scene, and said that the
murder had been committed by
a man, whom be would show to
the police. These stories differ.
ing so widely, all three of the par.
ties were held in the prison, but the
next day Marguerite confessed that she
had done the deed. She said that dur.
ing quarrel with Martinez she had
stabbed him because he had slapped her
and pulled her hair. During the trial
yesterday afternoon she appeared to re-
gard the killing of Andreas in rather a
pleasant light, for she continually smiled
and langhea whenever spoken to on the
subject. She admitted the killing, but
said she had not intended to do so. An
dreas had hsen slapping her and pulling
her hair, and she intended to prick him
lightly to make him desist. The jury
retired to deliberate at five minutes to s
o'clock, and few minutes after 10
o'clock it returned verdict of guilty
of manslaughter." The woman did not
appear to take in the situation any
more than she did during the trial.
